Herbal Medications: An Evidence-Based Review
Learn the clinical applications, safety considerations, and regulatory aspects of commonly used herbal medications through an evidence-based approach.
About this course
Widespread use of herbal supplements among patients has made it increasingly important for healthcare providers to understand the clinical implications of these products. While many herbal medications are promoted as natural alternatives for managing common conditions such as anxiety, pain, or digestive disorders, they often lack standardization, may interact with prescription drugs, and are regulated under a framework that differs significantly from conventional pharmaceuticals. This course offers an evidence-based examination of the most frequently used herbal products in the United States, emphasizing current clinical research, safety data, and regulatory guidance. By equipping providers with up-to-date knowledge, this training supports informed, safe, and culturally competent patient care within an evolving integrative medicine landscape.

Real reviews, real results
I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
